What Is This Tool?
This online converter changes luminance measurements from stilb (sb), a CGS photometric unit, into millilambert (mL), a non‑SI unit used in imaging and cinematography. It helps transform legacy or historical photometric values into units adapted for modern applications.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the luminance value measured in stilb [sb]
- Select stilb as the source unit and millilambert as the target unit
- Click the convert button to get the value in millilambert [mL]
- Use the results to analyze or compare luminance in relevant applications
Key Features
- Converts luminance values from stilb to millilambert using established conversion rates
- Supports interpretation of historical CGS-based luminance data
- Useful for optical research, broadcast engineering, and imaging laboratories
- Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required
Examples
- Convert 1 stilb to millilambert: 1 sb = 3141.59 mL
- Convert 0.5 stilb to millilambert: 0.5 sb = 1570.80 mL
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical photometric results recorded in CGS units to modern SI-compatible units
- Specifying luminance for display screens and projectors in cinematography and broadcast
- Characterizing output luminance in photographic labs and imaging research
- Calibrating instruments by converting obsolete units to contemporary measurements
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure accurate input values to get reliable conversion results
- Use the converted data to align legacy measurements with modern imaging and broadcast standards
- Be cautious when comparing values due to the units’ non-SI or largely obsolete status
- Verify conversions with additional references when precision is critical
Limitations
- Both stilb and millilambert are non-SI or largely outdated units, which limits direct equivalence to current standards
- Conversions may include rounding differences or subtle discrepancies
- Not suitable for applications requiring strict adherence to SI units without approximation
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the stilb unit measure?
- The stilb (sb) measures luminance as luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area, defined in the CGS system.
- Why convert stilb to millilambert?
- Converting stilb to millilambert helps translate historical or legacy photometric data into units useful for cinematography, broadcast engineering, and modern imaging analysis.
- Are stilb and millilambert units still widely used?
- Both are largely obsolete or non-SI units but remain relevant in specific fields like imaging laboratories, cinematography, and when dealing with legacy data.
Key Terminology
- Stilb [sb]
- A CGS photometric unit of luminance equal to 10^4 candela per square metre, indicating luminous intensity per surface area.
- Millilambert [mL]
- A non-SI luminance unit equal to one thousandth of a lambert, used in imaging and cinematography to express luminous intensity per unit area into a solid angle.
- Luminance
- The measurement of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit area in a given direction.
